This information to create awareness..!
If you are a director of a Company or persuing to become a director of a company a eight digit identification number called Director Identification Number(DIN) should be availed from the Ministry of Corporate Affairs. The online filing fee is only Rs.500.
One of my friend had applied for DIN and he received it instantly online, but, a week after that he received a courier from EMS stating he is suppose to pay Rs.998 (Rs.950 for the DIN instruction kit and Rs.48 for postal charges). My friend was not at home so someone at home had paid to the postman and received it.
The courier package contained nothing important, it only had few printed sheets about Director Identification rules and other Corporate act drawn from Ministry website.
On enquiring about it with MCA help desk they revealed something we could not imagine. They said, "It is a complete fraud, please don't believe in such postal packages, ministry of corporate affairs never sends such posts." Someone is cheating people through such courier packages.

I have obtained DIN recently and received VPP parcel for the same amount. Payment not made. MCA may take action of not to reveal the addresses.

Yes sir, MCA should take some action to keep the addresses safe. And, I appreciate your act of non payment for this.

This is not new. This is happening since last more than 2 years. Whenever I do DIN, Incorporation etc, I always inform my clients not to accept anything with relating to MCA/ROC if they are asking for money.
